ChatGPT
Conversational AI assistant capable of understanding and generating text, images, code, and more.
What is ChatGPT?
ChatGPT, developed by OpenAI and launched on November 30, 2022, is a generative conversational AI built on GPT-series language models, now including GPT‑5.5. It lets users interact via natural language for tasks like writing, reasoning, translation, summarization, coding, data analysis, and image editing. The platform operates on a freemium structure, with expanding feature sets and higher performance tiers for paid users.
